Our mission is to be an advocate for these special kids providing them and their families with the educational, emotional, and recreational support needed as a result of the long hours of chemotherapy, illness and isolation.

This summer, 6-year-old Caleb got a truly unique Smile Maker experience thanks to our friends at First Alert 4. Between cancer treatments, Caleb, his mom, Chelsie, and dad, Jesse, traveled to First Alert 4 studios for a special meteorologist day, featuring a huge surprise from the Surprise Squad with Matt Chambers.
For over 25 years, art therapy has been a core therapeutic program provided by Friends of Kids with Cancer to children diagnosed with cancer or blood-related diseases in St. Louis. Our supporters may recognize the beautiful, fun, and often thoughtful artwork, but may not understand what art therapy is and exactly how it helps kids and families as they move through their cancer journey.
A positive mental outlook can be just as important as the medicine used to treat the disease. Friends of Kids with Cancer’s Educational (Think), Emotional (Feel), and Recreational (Smile) programs build self-esteem and provide moments of joy and laughter to the entire family!
The Giving Club is a special group of people devoted to helping children and their families as they fight one of the toughest battles of their lives.
